Hey guys,
My name is Thomas. I am a VSU student, and work at Harveys, which is where I met Phillip, who forwarded me to this site. I am new to the site, but not new to airsoft. I first got into airsoft back in 2000 with my first springer pistol and rifle. By 2001 or 2002, I had my first "real" airsoft gun, which was a Marui M4. This was back when the only available / reliable AEGs were from companies such as Marui, CA, and ICS. If you wanted a support gun, then you had to sell a kidney, so you could afford a TOP M249 or M60. Anyway, about 2 years ago, I left the hobby completely in favor of real steel weapons. Now, I am wanting to get back into airsoft, for the cross training of airsoft and my real firearms.
Here's a rundown of the AEGs and GBBs I have owned. If you see one that you have been thinking of getting, then ask me for a non biased / no BS assessment of the gun, before you buy.
AEGs:
Marui M4
Marui / HurricanE / CA / Systema SR-16 with barrel mounted CA M203
Classic Army M249 Para (much better than the A&K)
UTG MP5A5 (major POS)
A&K MK43 MOD 0
CYMA M14
DBoys CQB-R
GBB:
KWC 1911 (major POS)
KWA M9 PTP
WA Kimber MARSOC 1911 (had 3 of them)
WA MEUSOC 1911
WE Caspian 1911 (horrible compared to WA)
KJW P226
AGM M4 (NEVER buy a GBBR based on the WA system... they are money pits!!!)
Anyway, I just thought I would drop by and say hey. Later
